According to the symptoms you describe
("white bump next to the anus hole and it
is very uncomfortable whenever I sit or
sometimes even walk"), you might be
experiencing a peri-anal abscess.
Peri-anal abscesses develop from the
glands surrounding the anus. These glands
may plug in, leading to infection. When
they fill with pus, they may burst inward.
The pus causes an abscess or pus
collection in the spaces around the rectum
or anus. The signs of an abscess include
pain in the anal area or buttocks, a
lump(s) in the anal area, fatigue, and
painful bowel movements. You should
consult your primary health care doctor
for an examination and to seek a diagnosis
of the condition.
